Staff Correspondence
Elbert Hubbard has delighted
thousands with his Little Journeys
but It may be wagered that the trip
of fortysix Paducah business men to
Metropolis last evening which Mr
F L Scott arranged and named a
Little Journey to Metropolis long
will remain a subject of fond retro
spection for every man who went
It was a breezy trip from tho time 1
the stqamer George Cowling left the
city wharf at 7 oclock till It returned
at ll45y Metropolis l met us with
outstretched hand tind waved us
adieu when we left The spirit of
the trip was one of jollity and the
evening was replete with Incidents
both amusing and vital
The vital part was when after a
speech by Mr Mark Wyman chief
engineer of r the surveying party of
the New York Central In which he
said a railroad was assured Into Me
tropolis nnd across the river Into Pa
ducah under certain conditions
Judge It T LIghtfoot who spoke
next said that a railroad was as
sured beyond tho shadow of A doubt
The Incident of next Importance
In an evening filled with snappy ac
ou was a little act of spontaneity
and originality by Mr Frank L
Scott At the close of the speaking
rbooks r
books of the Metropolis Commercial t
club for new members from the citi
zens present Eleven responded
Then Mr Scott rose end asked per
mission to have his name enrolled on
tho books of the Metropolis Commer
clal club as a member It so clearly
was the right thing done at the right
tliie that a burst of applause which
exceeded In enthusiasm any before r
given broke forth Messrs W P
Hummel W D Coons H t Q Rhodes
Sol Dreyfuss Ben Wellle J W Wal
lerstoln L W Hcnneberger n T
Lightfoot and H A Potter followed
suitBut
But to get back to railroads In a
quiet and earnest talk < Mr Wyman
urged cooperation both by Metrop
oils and Paducah toward securing a
railroad and assorted that the New
York Central would come through
Into Paducah provided not that a
cash bonus was given but only thatm m
a fair opportunity to get business was
afforded the road when It did get
built He said the lino would come 1
from Chicago nnd that It would
cross the Ohio river at some point
between Louisville and Cairo and that
If we deslro to Have It cross here 1J
which would suit the company he u
represents wo must extend the hand
of equal treatment and make It pos
BIble for them to build the road In a
reasonable cost For councils to re
fuse terminal facilities and fran
chises for property owners to hold
up the railroad for exorbitant prices
for right of way and finally for the
business Interests to be Indifferent In
giving the new road business would
Inevitably stifle tho platis to crossi i
the river at this point
Judge LIghtfoot In a reminiscent
talk of some length made the u ser
lion before mentioned that a trunk
line was coming across at Metropo
lis whether or no Ho > said that au
dlence was the first party that had
heard him make the assertion
Capt j F McCartney opened the
meeting and suggested Judge J C
